Texans Ben Hogan & Byron Nelson Signed 1941 US Open at Colonial CC in Fort Worth Program
"Like many kids my age that grew up in this part of the southwest, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan were incredibly famous, larger than life Texas heroes to us. We all knew who they were and what they had accomplished," photographer David Woo said after Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson last photo shoot together in 1992. Nelson and Ben Hogan were born within months of each other in 1912 and would forever be connected in golf and geography.
The Lone Star State luminaries both signed this one-of-a-kind 1941 US Open program played at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. This official tournament golf program was published for the Forty-Fifth Open Championship of the United States Golf Association, held June 5–7, 1941, at the Colonial Club in Fort Worth, Texas. This condition sensitive program has light, expected overall wear on cover. Hall of Famer Craig Wood won his first and only U.S. Open in 1941. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity (ALOA) comes with this lot.
